On Saturday, Molly Faulkner, a PTO Green Team member and former Claypit Hill School parent, checked on the garden behind Claypit Hill, and found broken gourds, smashed ripe tomatoes, and carrots pulled prematurely from their bed."People can help themselves to the kale but we are short on everything else that we grow," she said.Faulkner implored the community to "please not vandalize this or other school gardens. The produce grown and harvested here in the summer goes to two shelters for homeless families in Framingham and to our own Parmenter pantry once a month. The food grown in the spring and fall is picked and eaten by the students."With the construction of a new raised bed vegetable garden at Wayland High School, there are now "outdoor garden classrooms" at all five Wayland schools.
